Thread

 A thread in Java is a lightweight subprocess, the


smallest unit of processing. It is a separate path of
execution.

Process
Processes are basically the programs
that are dispatched from the ready state
and are scheduled in the CPU for
execution
Multithreading
 It is a process of executing multiple threads
simultaneously.

Portion 1 Portion 2 Portion 3

Program
 Running of the multiple portion of the program at a
same time
Thread Synchronization
 It is a option where we want to allow only one thread to
access the shared resource.
 It is used to prevent thread interference.
 It is used to prevent consistency problem
 It can be used with method, variables and blocks
 Example: Producer-Consumer

Advantages of Multithreading
1. It doesn’t block the user because threads are
independent and you can perform multiple
operations at the same time
2. You can perform many operations together so it saves
time
3. Threads are independent, so it doesn’t affect other
threads if an exception occurs in a single thread
Applications of Multithreading
1. It is used in video games
2. It is used to create media players
3. It is used to build servers
4. It is used in web browsers to load multiple web pages
at the same time
5. Used by the Databases
Thread Creation in Java
 Using Thread Class
We can use extends the Thread class provided by Java.lang
package and write code in run() method

 Using Runnable Interface


We can implements Runnable interface and implements
the run() method
Execution of the Program
Thread Pool OS Thread
Scheduler

Working of Start method
 What if we call run instead of start method
Life Cycle of Thread
Life Cycle method of a Thread
1. New
When a new thread is created using new keyword
2. Runnable
Thread is created and present in thread pool to get execute
3. Running
Thread is currently executing by the CPU
4. Waiting
Thread is waiting or timed waiting for other threads to gets complete
their task
5. Dead
Execution of the thread is done by the processor
Different Methods
 Sleep()
 Join()
 Notify()
 notifyAll()
 Wait()
Some other concepts
 Thread Name
 Thread Priority

 Mutual Exclusive synchronization
 Conditional synchronization
 Producer consumer problem
